“If you enjoy challenging boss fights that I would almost say are mmo-lite but with the action you'd see similarly in Bayonetta and DMC, WHILE PLAYING WITH FRIENDS! Then please get this game, it deserves far more…”

“I didn't think I'd like this game. There's no shortage of action games that rely on reflexes, letting you press the invincibility button at any point during your attacks, and I figured this one wouldn't set itself…”

“Fun game. Most funest with mods. This is a "power of friendship" game. Very few people are on the villain roster, and they are clearly good or bad. I don’t say this as a negative, only that it’s black and white. The…”

“Pretty good, you'll like it if you like a grind and/or Monster Hunter + FFXIV also we're getting a content update in July, so good time to buy and get ready for that”
“The main story is very bland and boring. (classic feels-good jrpg story) BUT This game is one of the best modern combat focused j-rpg game right now. I consider the main story quest to be a trial before the real game…”

“Was recommended by a friend. Bought this at full price and didn't regret it. End game grinding is real though. Not recommended for people who are busy with life.”

“I ignored Granblue Fantasy: Relink for two years because every description of it sounded wrong. Some called it a JRPG. Some called it Monster Hunter-lite. Some said it was overrated anime fluff. After 30+ hours and reaching Proud difficulty, I realized the problem: Nobody…”

Story is decent and its the worst part of the game the juice comes around midgame and endgame, cant wait for the fking expansion.
